[@kiri7678]

I miss Ben Brode :(

[@kiri7678]

Mike Rotch They look like they are reading the script from a screen. They show little to no emotion or enthusiasm and they stand static. As this comment says the way the present it is almost automated as if they are a robot. It’s not entertaining, there’s no character or anything to make me feel comfortable when watching it. Yes, at the end of the day these card reveal videos don’t matter as it’s the game that counts. And yes, these guys help make the game as entertaining as it is which I thank them for. But neither of them are PR experts, neither of them can present a video with any ‘oomph’. I don’t really watch the announcement videos anymore but I loved it when Brode was doing it... so I do miss him. Maybe I’m more critical because I have done a lot of drama/acting in my past, but I know many agree with me still.

I mean, he said it's similar to ice lance already

[@engladtur]

An ice Lance can't enter a room. It isn't sentient in any way, nor does it have legs. Or arms to crawl. I presume it could be thrown inside, but that still doesn't made it enter from its own will.

It appears you don't quite comprehend twin spell yet let me explain...

[@adambak5482]

Why did he explain twinspell twice?

[@myckyrylemreynchidrome8790]

Adam Bak to truly explain twinspell. You must have twinspell yourself

[@user-rg7gg2vx7b]

Adam Baki see what you did there

[@terrariku2010]

"Twinspell explanation" must have had twinspell as a clever little joke. That or this took way too many takes to throw together and no one caught a genuine mistake before uploading the video and now just hope that the viewers think it was intended as a joke about twinspell.

I love that Peter Whalen either looks like a toddler on speed or an insane adult. Gives him that nice bit of charm.

[@justinwebb9523]

I think he was about to reveal the hero card for the set. Based on what has been revealed already, it will either be a Paladin or Druid hero card, since those are the only two classes defending Dalaran who have not had both of their legendary cards revealed yet.

i've heard that they'll have this new 'twinspell' mechanic. can't wait till the reveal!

[@93kk0]

Blizzard ought to have a budget option like 20-30 EUR/USD for 20-30 packs + random epic. For instance it's costly for parents buying a personal preorder + preorder for kid(s), same goes for younger people with limited income. Personally that stops me from making a preorder.

[@arrowghost]

Lol, the ending, looks like Peter the former Loa of Poultry did make additional chickens too.

[@SAMMY_SAUSAGE]

[@idotsachor1197]

Man I'm so hypedddd!!!

[@falkhornfalk9201]

I think one of the few things that made Ben Brode likeable was that he didn't read of a teleprompter, or atleast he did hide it pretty well.

How about a 3 mana Twinspell for priest that gives a minion +2/+2? Some sort of "extra weapon" for the class.

:O u smart

[@Kripkee]

so what card was he talking about at the end?

[@vithayartheppalard2417]

I think: Commander Rhyssa should be "After your Secret is triggered put a copy of it to the battlefield (the copy won't trigger this ability)" But i realize: Oh wait is it OP?

[@tjadams8654]

I hope there are some cool dialogue easter eggs in these three expansions! I want to see the legendaries talk to eachother similar to Varian Wynn and Anduin Wynn.

[@arrowghost]

Peter is back, changed back from chicken to his normal self thanks to the mages of Dalaran.

[@giuseppecalabro3667]

Peter Wallen that face is soo haunted behind that smile

[@DeathbyPixels]

1:37 I legit thought he said “fresh coffee is added to your hand.”

[@GenrealGreed]

I would think the mightiest help for Dalaran would have been either Khadgar, or Kalecgos. In lore at least...unless suddenly Jaina is a neutral minion leggo.

[@Zakading]

So that ending probably absolutely confirmed that Kadghar is going to be the second Mage legendary, right?

[@Marxyon]

Wait, who is he talking about in the end?

[@Dryaspis]

His speach had a bunch of twinspell...

[@cuddleswithdogs]

maybe the last card is the opposite of mill house manastorm where spells cost more or unable to play for a turn or it could a a chicken that give spell power

[@maganashaker167]

Facts: Peter is a werechicken that changes its form every set expansion

[@sirgravy1067]

You guys remember that time dalaran man blew himself up to save dalaran? Maybe we can get the sequel to that
